You're a Good Man, Phillip Fulmer
Sometimes, words are cumbersome. These two pictures just about sum it up for me. (Thanks to the Mrs., as always.)
Tennessee Volunteers vs. Vanderbilt Commodores: A First Look
Well, it's been quite a while since the Volunteers last stepped on the football field, and I'm kind of itching to see them play again. (Insert wisecrack here; just get it out of your system now.) It's been a dismal year for the Vols, as we all know, and a terrific year for the Commodores. With...
Perspective on the Tennessee - Wyoming Game: (Un)Pretty Charts
I feel almost guilty going through the numbers. It's not like we don't know what happened; Wyoming won in a significant upset in a game that effectively drove the stake into the heart of the UT fanbase. It was a homecoming game against an offense who actually had a worse season than UT - and that...
Speechless: This Wyoming and Tennessee Fan Is
Normally, I don't have much trouble finding something to say after a game. Topical themes appear naturally during the game; emotions find their expression; words flow from fingers to webpage. Today, I've been sitting at my computer for nearly an hour trying to figure out what to say. Well, more...
My "Me" Week Ruined. I Blame Mike Hamilton.
Whereas the author, tongue firmly planted in cheek, complains about missing his chance to crow about being both a Tennessee and Wyoming guy prior to the Homecoming game. Aw, Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.................... I had been looking forward to this game for months. It's the second...
How I feel about the firing of Phillip Fulmer
"ET TU, UT?" This is how the press conference felt to me. Julius Fulmer, the dean of SEC coaches, had his tenure cut short by forces beyond his control. This is a gut reaction, so please don't read any more into it than that. It hurt, and it seriously felt like he was getting cut down by the...
Looking deeper into the problems with UT's offense.
I didn't get much of a chance to comment on the MSU game last week, thanks to a great-but-fatiguing week-long training seminar and a brutal 48-hour head cold. But even though I basically ran silent for the week, I was [just] able to keep up with the charts I maintain on my computer. That has...
A Few Things to Applaud: Not All at Tennessee is Lost
So now that everybody can freely admit that this season has been a disappointment (yeah, yeah, I know, understatement and all that), let's not forget that there have been some things to applaud about this football team as well. Effort I normally like to save the biggest point for last, but this...
Live From Neyland: Volunteers - Bulldogs Post-Game Report
Back from the game. It's nice to live a short distance away and have a secret-handshake backstreet route home that doesn't get any traffic. (And no, I'm not telling.) As always, it's a wonderful thing to go to a game live, even if the view isn't as good as on TV. (South end zone, but still not...
